Biosurfactant & Biopolymer

Biosurfactant

The ChemEOR biosurfactant product line is built around fermentation-based production of high-performance, bio-based surfactants for industrial and oilfield applications. ChemEOR’s fermentation capability provides control over product composition, active concentration, and formulation, enabling differentiated grades designed for specific performance and cost requirements. The current biosurfactant platform includes sophorolipids and surfactin, providing surface and interfacial activity for applications such as wetting, emulsification, dispersion, and formulation enhancement.

ChemEOR’s biosurfactants can also be integrated with its broader biopolymer portfolio to create customized formulation systems. By combining interfacial control from sophorolipids or surfactin with rheology and fluid-control properties from biopolymers, ChemEOR provides a flexible platform for developing bio-based formulations tailored to demanding applications in oilfield, industrial fluids, agriculture, and home and personal care.

Product Line

SOPHOROLIPID
Controlled grades with different lactone/acid ratios, active concentrations, and industrial and performance-driven grades.

SURFACTIN
A high-performance lipopeptide biosurfactant from fermantation-based production with strong surface activity at low use levels. It’s a platform for specialty oilfield and industrial formulations.

Biopolymer

ChemEOR offers a broad portfolio of high-performance biopolymers designed to provide rheology control, fluid-loss management, suspension, and formulation stability across demanding industrial applications. The product line combines fermentation-derived gums, cellulose derivatives, and modified guar chemistries to provide flexible solutions for different fluid systems and performance requirements.

Through its integrated manufacturing and formulation capabilities, ChemEOR provides multiple polymer chemistries that can be selected and tailored to meet application-specific rheology and fluid-control requirements. The biopolymer portfolio supports applications in oilfield and industrial fluids, with flexibility for formulation development and performance optimization.
